MAKA JISHKARIANI - THE SELF PORTRAIT OF LIVING

Home as a place of illusions and reality. A place where you dream and yet face the actualities. Where you’re naked, the most vulnerable, a place you’re constantly running away from only to return eventually. You go back to catch a breath, gain strength, pull yourself together, and keep on living—M.J.

Next, she worked for McCann Tbilisi, an international advertising company. Along with her personal show at the Folklore Center in 2019, she has taken part in various group exhibitions.
